Everything happens before 2 pm and closes around that time too. We stop by for their famous oyster and had zero regret. Just wished we were here earlier in the day. This market has two parts. A side for fresh veggie, cheese and bread. French people take their bread very seriously. You will find a lot of small pastries on the way in therefore do come hungry. Next part will be the meat and seafood part. I would come back here again just for their oyster bar in the back. Beside oyster, you can find other fresh season cooked and serve on the spot. Be warned it's not a big space. You can get some or alot to go on the beach. But just eat it there and enjoy. Restroom is outside the building and it locks down after 2 pm. We were there on weekends so no sure on weekdays.

But, not all my experience was great. Fish soup was tasty after I added salt. I enjoyed the salad, but overpriced for what I got, I think cause of location. I'm soloing Spain so sometimes it can be challenging asking for a table. In this case the dude that great me said he can only seat me inside despite several open outdoor tables. I agreed as I was cold. Soon, the inside filled up, but that was a rude move. Thankfully Agatha made up for his lack of service.

We were in St-Jean de Luz on a jour férié (November 1), which led me to believe that we might have…read moretrouble finding a restaurant open for dinner, so I was surprised to discover La Vieille Auberge not only open, but seating guests a little before their 19.00 scheduled opening hour. The restaurant was welcoming and the staff courteous and efficient. Over the course of the enjoyable two-hour dinner, I remarked that I had never seen waiters walk as quickly as those at La Vieille Auberge, whether hustling to the kitchen to pick up food for guests or from the kitchen with same. They all worked together, not simply assigned to one section of the restaurant. My wife had for her main dish one of the house specialties, paëlla, which was a mix of local seafood, chorizo and spiced rice. I had canard parmentier, described in the English-language menu as "duck shepherd pie." We shared an entrée of fish soup and a dessert of tiramisu. All the dishes were very well-made, tasty and well presented. My wife ate every bit of her paëlla, which is unusual for her. The bill was less than €50, but the only wine we had was a glass of sangria before dinner. Even so, I think La Vieille Auberge was good value for money. Clearly, many other people agree with this assessment: virtually every seat in the restaurant was filled tonight, some more than once. If I lived nearby, I would be a regular customer here.

Poor waiters swamped, not their fault, kitchen overworked, Monday night, many establishments closed so everyone flocks to what's open.

SO MUCH SEAFOOD! At…read moresuch a reasonable price. Great service, awesome casual atmosphere. We had oysters, sea snails, gambas (prawns), razor clams, and kokotxas (hake chin). All fresh and fantastic. The hake chin alone blew my mind. So good. If I just had a big bowl of them for every meal I would forever be happy. The razor clams were also up there on the 'wow' factor but honestly everything was so good. It was our first night in Biarritz after 6 night in Paris of eating really great food and I gotta say this might be the best food we ate for the price at 40 Euro for the whole spread.

I suspect that the increasing number of tourists wanting…read moreto dine there has lead them to institute a policy that they will charge a fee of 30 Euros per person for missed reservations. I received a confirmation email and a phone call the evening before the reservation to confirm. Pasaia is a lovely village and well worth a visit while staying in San Sebastian and is just a 15 minute bus ride away plus the 1 minute ferry ride. The staff at Casa Camara are amazing. They are the picture of efficiency. Everyone knows their roles and they all get the job done well. Service was really good and they have no problem answering questions in English. From the long specials list, we chose the grilled cigala. It's like a langostine. It was perfectly grilled and salted. They were so delicious. The monk fish was firm, flaky, and sweet. Our table was next to the lobster tank below the restaurant floor. As lobsters were ordered, staff would hoist the cages up to choose lobsters for the clients to confirm that it's what they want. For dessert, we shared a cheesecake. It was fluffy and light with berries inside. It was a wonderful lunch at a lovely place. Make a reservation so you don't miss out on the experience.

They have a hole in the middle of the restaurant that goes straight down to the water and they keep their fresh lobster in cages. Whenever you order a lobster they wheel the cage up and you get to select which one you want. We stayed in San Sebastián & drove to the small town to eat. You do need to walk a little ways to find the restaurant but not very far. They also have an amazing view of the water in this town. I highly recommend going for a little walk/hike afterwards.

This steak is a much older cow (8 to 18 years old) than your normal US cow (1-2 years old). It's literally aged beef all those years while grazing, working, and milking. Such an amazing flavor. This is what we came here for. 40 oz of bone in ribeye for the table. Tabla de Iberico (half portion). This was the best charcuterie we had while in Spain. 4 amazing meats, definitely start your meal with this. Jamon Iberico de Bellota - stole the show, due to eating nothing but acorns, has such a nutty taste to it. But loved the other 3 as well. Chilled Spider Crab - this is another don't miss dish, although you can get it on Pintxos here and other places, this presentation in the crab shell is great. And it was the best crab salad we had anywhere. Txuleta 44 oz Bone-in Ribeye. They don't ask how you want it, it comes beautifully rare, nice crust on the outside, only topped with some course salt. It's not the most tender steak you've eaten, but the flavor makes up for it. You actually want each bite to last a bit. The fat has truly rendered into the meat here, delicious. Had to try both cheese cakes side by side Cheesecake #1 - House made Basque cheesecake with hazelnut ice cream. This was the winner of the two for me. Maybe not as fancy as the 2nd one. Cheesecake #2 - Rafa Gorrotxategi "Gandarias" Cheesecake with butter ice cream. This had an interesting top that was an apricot caramel glaze and an almond crust. It wasn't as sweet as the first one. Pretty though. We did return a few days later for their Pintxos and everything was delicious at the bar side as well. Can't see myself coming back to San Sebastián without eating here.
